Feedback On Nanosecond Timescales (FONT): Philip Burrows

This study evaluates feedback systems on nanosecond timescales in beam stabilization for high-energy physics experiments. It covers the performance of the CLIC IPFB prototype, ATF2 IP beam feedback concept, recent beam runs, and more. The research focuses on improving beam stability and resolution within stringent timelines.

  1. IP Feedback Feedback On Nanosecond Timescales (FONT): Philip Burrows Neven Blaskovic, Douglas Bett, Glenn Christian, Michael Davis, Young Im Kim, Colin Perry John Adams Institute Oxford University

  2. Outline • Reminder of CLIC IPFB prototype • Remarks on L* • ATF2 IP FB concept • Results of recent beam runs

  3. IP beam feedback concept • Last line of defence against relative beam misalignment • Measure vertical position of outgoing beam and hence beam-beam kick angle • Use fast amplifier and kicker to correct vertical position of beam incoming to IR FONT – Feedback On Nanosecond Timescales

  7. Comments on L* • Current geometry: • time of flight IP  BPM  kicker  IP ~ 24 ns • Demonstrated FONT3 electronics latency = 13ns • Estimated IPFB latency = 37ns

  8. CLIC IP FB performance Single random seed of GM C Resta Lopez

  9. CLIC IP FB performance For noisy sites:  factor 2 - 3 improvement

  10. Comments on L* • Current CDR geometry: • time of flight IP  BPM  kicker  IP ~ 24 ns • Demonstrated FONT3 electronics latency = 13ns • Estimated IPFB latency = 37ns • In principle, change of L* need not affect IPFB position and latency, but needs to be engineered carefully, considering other beamline components

  14. Nanometer beam FB at ATF2 IP • Much harder than IPFB at ILC or CLIC! • Only 1 beam  must measure beam position directly • nm-level stabilisation requires nm-level position meas. •  Cavity BPMs (rather than striplines) • Cavities intrinsically slow, signal processing complicated • Cavities required to resolve 2 bunches within << 300ns •  Low-Q cavities and low-latency signal processing •  New BPMs+electronics (KNU), new IP chamber (LAL)

  22. IP BPM resolution • Beam size during measurements ~ 100 nm • Model  beam jitter ~ 20% of beam size, i.e. 20nm • Assuming results are resolution limited … • Resolution = 93 nm / sqrt(2) ~ 65 nm • (no direct resolution measurement possible)

  23. New IP chamber installed summer 2013 • Commissioning • Started November: • alignment, • BPM signals

  26. In May tests resumed w. Honda electronics Centre beam in BPM using mover  optimise resolution

  27. In May tests resumed w. Honda electronics Centre beam in BPM using mover  optimise resolution

  28. Summary • ATF2 IPFB prototype is progressing • Beam stabilised (June 2013) to ~ 100nm level • Beam jitters measured (June 2014) ~ 60nm (best) • Beam studies continue until June 20th • Attempting to disentangle jitter/resolution • Looking at boosting signal levels  resolution • Hope to close FB loop with improved resolution
